classifications are specific to the Plant, and these new job specifications were created using descriptions <br />from City of Hayward, City of Livermore, Union Sanitary and Oro Loma Sanitary Districts. <br />The Street Maintenance Worker specification revisions are merely removing the wording that pertains <br />specifically to the duties related to sewer maintenance, storm collects or water pollution which are <br />included in the new specifications above. <br />Member Browne noted that the Collection Systems Maintenance Worker and Senior Collection Systems <br />Maintenance Worker classifications have a provision for random drug testing. That seems to be left out <br />of the Collection Systems Maintenance Supervisor, is this an oversight? Director Pollart said yes, this is <br />an oversight in the specification and should be included as they are required to maintain a Class B <br />license as well, so will be subject to random drug testing. <br />Chair Heystek further asked if the WPCP would be staying in San Leandro or would it become a special <br />district. Director Pollart said she would hope it will stay with the multi-million dollar upgrade recently <br />completed. She is not aware of any plans to become a special district. Member Ballew asked if these <br />reclassifications will help with retention. Analyst Hung said that and bringing salaries up to be <br />competitive with neighboring agencies was intended to help attract and retain personnel. <br />M I S I P (Badger/Browne) 5-0 to adopt the 3 new and 3 revised classifications as presented <br />VI.
